Paint Repair - Paint Stripping
1. Paint Stripping
If using paint stripper:
Use a chemical paint stripper to remove the old paint layers if the damage is too deep or its deterioration is extensive.
Paint stripper can also be used on large repair areas.
1.
Place the masking tape about 1?2 cm (0.4?0.8 in) inside from the edge of the area being stripped to protect the surrounding surfaces.
2.
Sand the surface to be stripped with P60 to P80 sandpaper to improve penetration of the paint stripper.
3.
Liberally apply the paint stripper on the surface with a brush in one direction only.
4.
When the paint layer becomes softened, remove it with a scraper or spatula.
5.
Remove any remaining paint stripper and other residue by rinsing thoroughly with water.
6.
If any paint or masking tape marks remain on the surface, sand them off with P60 to P80 sandpaper. Clean the area using degreaser after sanding.
Removal with Disc Sander

If the repair area is small, use a disc sander to remove the old paint layer.

NOTE: There is no need to apply excessive pressure to the sander. Press down lightly on the sanding disc at an angle of 10 °?15 ° against the paint layer.
Attach P60 to P80 sandpaper to the disk to sand the damaged or deteriorated area smooth.

NOTE: Remove any decals or trim attachment tape using a razor spatula or scraper. Use a degreaser to completely remove any glue residue.
